If you want to do the equivalent on a real machine, one approach is to use clonezilla live. http://clonezilla.sourceforge.net/clonezilla-live/ This is a bootable CD image that can save/restore image copies of drives or partitions much like Norton Ghost except that it knows how to save just the used portion of most Linux filesystems as well as ntfs and can use an assortment of network access methods to mount the storage location (nfs/smb/sshfs). -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
